This work out was fantastic! I am not going to lie, I was a little skeptical going into it after yesterdays work out. I did not know what to expect from the actual program. Now this may have been because I was very distracted by little Davey and missed some crucial points but overall I felt I was unsure what to actually expect going forward.
I loved the flow of the entire workout, but even more than that I really liked knowing there would be 4 reps for each exercise which really allowed me to push through. On this note, when she is going through the initial warrior poses she doubles up on the right leg but then only does one set on the left side. My work out buddy and I just paused to even out, not necessary we are just kind of technical like that. I also feel like it was the perfect blend of strength and length allowing me to address many of my problem areas in a well rounded fashion.
No surprises here, but I am sore even from the hodge podge attempt at working out I had yesterday, mainly in my transverse abdominal muscles. This is excellent news! I forgot how much these motions help to strengthen your core which will ultimately make both my home life and work life much more sustainable.
Here are a few hacks I embraced this week beginning this program:
-Workout buddies are awesome!: Find a partner to work with that helps motivate you and can keep you accountable to the program. It doesn’t hurt if they can make you smile through it as well, thank you Courtney!
-I love stickers!: This may sound silly, but every program I have ever attempted has been much more fulfilling when I use a sticker reward system to follow my progress through.
-Make the room: I found that when I put my mind to it, and let go of a few ideas I had about my living space I was able to turn my living room into a more functional space where I could have the space and means to crank out a good work out but still enjoy family time at the end of my day.
To everybody out there working to make it happen, keep it up! You are doing an awesome job 🙂
